To complete the Autumn daily challenges in **Forza Horizon 6** (Series 1: Welcome to Japan), you must navigate the Festival Playlist and complete seven specific tasks that unlock sequentially throughout the week. The Autumn season for Series 1 runs from **May 28, 2026, to June 4, 2026**.

## Autumn Daily Challenge Schedule
Daily challenges unlock every morning at **10:30 AM EDT (14:30 UTC)**. Once a challenge is unlocked, it remains active for seven days, allowing you to complete them all at once toward the end of the week if preferred.

### May 28: Big in Japan
* **Objective:** Win a Cross Country Race in any **Sports Utility Hero** vehicle.
* **Recommended Car:** 1992 GMC Typhoon or 2021 Aston Martin DBX.
* **Strategy:** Filter your garage by the “Sports Utility Heroes” car theme. If you are having trouble with the challenge registering (a known bug in the launch window), try using a different car within the same category or restart the game before attempting the race. The **Shimanoyama Cross Country** event in the western region is a quick option for this.

### May 29: Pre-Loved
* **Objective:** Purchase an **Aftermarket Car**.
* **Strategy:** In Forza Horizon 6, “Aftermarket” refers to a specific section of the Autoshow or dedicated “Aftermarket Spots” on the map. Purchase any low-cost vehicle from this category to trigger the completion. Buying from the Auction House may not count toward this specific objective.

### May 30: In the Zone
* **Objective:** Earn a total of **300 mph (483 km/h)** across Speed Zones.
* **Strategy:** This is cumulative. You do not need to hit 300 mph in a single zone. Drive through multiple Speed Zones in a high-performance S1 or S2 class car until your total speed across all attempts reaches the target. The **Forest Straight** Speed Zone is ideal for high-speed runs.

### May 31: Hang Time
* **Objective:** Earn **3 Stars** at Danger Signs.
* **Strategy:** Like the Speed Zone challenge, this is cumulative. You can earn 1 star across three different jumps or 3 stars in a single jump. Use a lightweight car with high power, such as the **1991 Honda Beat** (which is also required for a later challenge), to easily clear the **Highway Jump** Danger Sign.

### June 1: Link Skiller
* **Objective:** Earn a **LINK Skill**.
* **Strategy:** This is a new skill type in FH6. It is triggered by using the Forza LINK system (D-pad) to interact with other players during Freeroam or Horizon Life events. Simply respond to a prompt or send a “Hello” or “Nice Car” via LINK when near another player to earn the skill.

### June 2: Drop the Beat
* **Objective:** Earn an **Awesome Air Skill** in the **1991 Honda Beat**.
* **Strategy:** The 1991 Honda Beat is a seasonal reward car (30 points) but can also be purchased in the Autoshow. To get an “Awesome Air” skill, you need to stay airborne for approximately 1.5 to 2 seconds. Head to the dunes or the construction area in the Minamino Region to find suitable jumps.

### June 3: Tokyo Drift
* **Objective:** Earn **3 Awesome Drift or E-Drift Skills** at **Shibuya Crossing**.
* **Strategy:** Travel to the Shibuya Crossing area in the center of Tokyo. Use a RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive) car or pull the handbrake (E-brake) while turning at moderate speed to initiate a drift. Maintain the slide until the “Awesome Drift” notification appears. Repeat this three times within the Shibuya map boundaries.

## Autumn Seasonal Rewards
Completing these daily challenges contributes points toward the Autumn Season milestones and the overall Series 1 progression.

* **15 Points:** 1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (Seasonal Exclusive)
* **30 Points:** 1991 Honda CR-X SiR (Seasonal Exclusive)
* **Series 1 Overall (60 Pts):** 2008 Mazda Furai
* **Series 1 Overall (120 Pts):** 2010 Nissan 370Z

## Tips for Efficiency
* **Stacking Challenges:** Since challenges stay active for 7 days, wait until June 3 to complete all of them in one session. This allows you to use the same car (like the Honda Beat) for multiple objectives (Hang Time and Drop the Beat).
* **Difficulty Settings:** For the “Big in Japan” race, you can set the Drivatar difficulty to “Tourist” to ensure a quick win, as the challenge does not have a difficulty requirement.
* **Check Requirements:** Always press the Right Stick (RS) on the challenge tile in the Festival Playlist menu to view specific car restrictions or location details. This prevents wasted effort using the wrong car class.
